Steering

[Malcolm Parker]

Another thought about steering.   I think there is the temptation to adjust the steering box with the wheels in the straight ahead position to eliminate play at the steering wheel.  Due to the age of the steering box and the way in which they wear, this will cause the steering to be stiff on either lock.  This is why you sometimes see Sevens going along a perfectly straight road in a series of zig-zags, the driver gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles and sweating profusely!
